'American Idol' = RACIST -- Elton John (News Article) - GoFuckYourself.com

Elton John joins the chorus screaming racism for last week's phone in ouster of black contestant Jennifer Hudson

Personally, I think Elton John and the other folks screaming racism are WRONG. There's no racism here because what happened is the people who vote for jennifer and the other 2 black female contestants SPLIT THEIR VOTE since there's 3 people to split the vote over.

Your thoughts?

escsweb · 04-28-2004, 04:16 PM

there are like 50 black people on that show

BuckLover · 04-28-2004, 04:17 PM

What about all the talented white kids that got dismissed!

BVF · 04-28-2004, 04:17 PM

they voted for that goofy lookin black dude...although he was the LAST one to go to the top group...

I think it's more "haterism" than "racism"...

SykkBoy · 04-28-2004, 04:19 PM

the show is racist! how come there aren't any eskimo singers???

racist pigs!!!

fuck it, here's a monkey in a leather jacket

How did that Reuben win last time. People are too quick to use racism as a crutch.

The only way I can justify the reason the three best had the lowest votes, would be that people just thought everyone would be voting for the divas so they voted for their favorite underdogs.

My favorite has been Latoya London from the beginning. That chick rocks!!

EXACTLY.

While there ARE legitimate instances of racism out there, this isn't one of them. Unfortunately, the jacktards who scream racism all the time can be accused of crying wolf when a legitimate instance occurs.

*High fives to Loryn!*
I've said from the start, that she was gonna win this year's competition. She kicks ass and she posesses all the qualities that an "American Idol" should, in my opinion.

BLacK PoWa!

reynold · 04-28-2004, 05:57 PM

I don't think he was right on this one! There is absolutely nothing racist about it.

Mr. Marks · 04-29-2004, 01:50 AM

I would agree... it ain't racist.... its just the vote splitting.

The year Melissa Tormei won the Oscar she was up against four British Shakesperean-type actresses.

Call it split the vote, call it back lash, call it rooting for the under dog, or all of 'em combined ... it's the same thing here.

Nothing more, nothing less.

bhutocracy · 04-29-2004, 02:01 AM

fucking hell... makes me want to slaps these 'tards.

they were all bottom three because most people consider them "safe" so people don't vote as much as they should. You think fantasia and the other one are going to be bottom three again this time round?.. Even though you guys in the US know what the results are i'd bet that they weren't in the bottom 3 this week when people realised that everyone else wasn't carrying them.. It's kind of a weak version of a common social behaviour where someone doesn't do something about an issue because it's fairly obvious to them that someone else is.

pure energy · 04-29-2004, 03:03 AM

She's one of the best which is reason enough why she had to be voted out first! Tough competition!

Talk about a fucking UPSET. That one goes down on the history books. Marisa Tomei = Academy Award Winner... who'd a thunk it.

Mr. Marks · 04-29-2004, 03:09 AM

Good explanation.

Some sociologists blame the "free rider" mentality for the failure of socialist states. Nobody cares cuz everybody assumes someone is doing what's necessary.

Ever watch MTV lately? The only white guy is the one hosting the show. And is most likely Jewish anyway.

Firehorse · 04-29-2004, 04:36 AM

It's more a popularity contest than a cas of racism and as mentioned already a lot of peeps are apathetic about voting for their favs if they think they are safe.

Mr. Marks · 04-29-2004, 04:47 AM

I wonder how long that redheaded kid will last. Actually, I liked his rendition of the Roger Miller classic "King of the Road"

Top three, as it should be.

It it very clearly racism, and everyone that watches this show is a racist!

bizmak · 04-29-2004, 06:16 AM

racism is a right word i thik to. It isnt contest when racism is there

DeadFidel · 04-29-2004, 06:58 AM

I don't get it. Didn't 2 black people win already?

Basic_man · 04-29-2004, 07:02 AM

American Idol is fuckin' gay! My

TheLegacy · 04-29-2004, 07:22 AM

I do blame the voting process that is less than perfect - anyone who hates the show and wants a good joke pulled on them can line up easily some dialers and hit the system with false votes.

I dont think American Idol is fixed - but I do think some kid with a dialer in chicago is!!!

but Im canadian - we arent racists - hell even I own a color TV set

Brad Mitchell · 04-29-2004, 07:24 AM

Give me a fucking break. We're down to the finals and there's one white person in it with 4 or 5 contestants left.

I think the Jennifer Hudson fans will switch over to those two so I don't think they will be at the bottom.

It's that red head kid that may get the axe.

Honeyslut · 04-29-2004, 07:26 PM

Racist. LOL

There are no white people left on IDOL how can it be racist.

White on Black racism isn't the only racism in the world you know? Like I said, look at MTV.

Maybe its more about economics? or demographics of people who watch TV for ridiculous amounts of time.
